Hiii chim, I'm sorry that you're going through a rough time, and I hope that things get better for you soon ;^;

also this is kind of entirely random but I've been following you for some months now, but it was only JUST NOW when I was clicking on your blog trying to think of a question, that I took proper notice of the sticker shop banner you have on your pinned (despite, seeing it all the time orz) AND SAW THAT YOU HAD SALLY FACE STICKERS ON THERE!! I didn't know that was something you like/liked!! :D But that's really awesome to see to me ahhhh it's one of my favorite games

also also I absolutely ADORE the design you made for Gilda, it goes SO HARD and it just looks so good I have to do a double take whenever I see her because, gosh, what she does to my heart is unfair >A<

I'm not great at coming up with questions, but, you mentioned in I think the last poll for Randy and Imani about the trope of fretting over ruining the friendship you have with someone when you catch feelings for them, so my first question is: who would have worse anxeity over their feelings for the other screwing up their friendship, between the two of them?

second question, of all the art you've done for The Tenderness She Gives (which, is a wonderful name for it honestly, it hits me in the heart so strongly), which has been your favorite? :3c

Ohh my god that's such a sweet message, thank you... <3

Funnily, the shop still isn't open. I wanna finish 2-3 more stickers before opening up again. But yes, I do love Sally Face and will definitely play when the second game comes out. I actually also drew a lot of fanart for it and probably will again once the next game comes out. The general tag list is here if you're curious.

And thank you regarding Gilda <3 as mentioned, I am really surprised she got such a positive feedback. I like her design but didn't anticipate people going nuts over her lmao. I saw way more tags/comments about her compared to other art.

Regarding Randy and Imani and that trope - god I'm such a huuuuuuge sucker for it... I imagine Imani as very curious and experimental in nature so I don't see her being that anxious about it. But then again, I think I love Randy falling for her pretty early on in their teenage years and covering it with jokes and over-the-top and thus not serious flirting. I can see Randy being anxious for years to not advance anything in their friendship because she can tell Imani doesn't have feeling for her. Yet - because I like to think Imani starts to get flustered once Randy is well-known secure in her job as deputy captain. Honestly I could see Imani need a nudge into the right direction from all other women fawning over Randy. As in, she probably only starts to see Randy's romantic potential once she actually starts paying attention outside of their friendly banter. (I imagine her head is always all over the place so she just doesn't see Randy in any intimate/romantic way before). But after that, she definitely also has anxiety over making a move. Not as much as Randy though.

As for the fave pieces.... I actually adooooore the two butches and have been cursing myself for not drawing them more.

For Imani and Randy I really like the teenage doodle I made for the poll here. I just like their younger versions in the sketch <3

#thank you so much #also thanks for asking about the OCs <3 #I really really want more from the butches....#ask chim #the tenderness she gives #my ocs

Crelog #1

(for optimal viewing, please use a computer and blog address ^^)

First Novinitum D crelog! (creator log, i know very creative). These are basically like devlogs but for my specevo and worldbuilding projects. Entries where it's me updating yall on the behind-the-scenes stuff and also asking for feedback on occasion, maybe even a poll, we'll see.

In this entry I'll be discussing the progress I've made on the first taxon of the project, the infamous fish I've been spamming on my socials for the past week (it finally has a name!). And I'll also be discussing my process on the map and fleshing out the geological past and future of Novinitum D.

sneak peak into what this crelog features

[#1] -> Next crelog [#2] 🗒️Crelogs🗒️

~~~~~🐟🐟🐟~~~~~

Operculaurisichthys pelagicus, the type species of Operculaurisichthys (yes that's the name people, write it down write it down!!!)

Enter Operculaurisichthys, the 'eared operculum fish'. This entire project only exists because one night I sat down, drew a made up fish (this one) and thought to myself "what if I started a seed world with this fish?". Now this figure is actually slightly innaccurate now but not noticably so to most people so I think it's fine using it in a crelog, updated figures will be used in its dedicated taxon article anyways.

I wanted to talk about it because 1. it's awesome, and 2. phylogeny.

As many of you know, I created this fish without any intention of clade in mind, that said however, I very much had pachycormids on my mind at the time because they sparked my fish anatomy hyperfixition (fish people will know why I've shot myself in the foot doing that). This means that I unknowingly made its anatomy nearly identical to a generalised pachycormid as pointed out by Sky Jung in a VC (check him out on twitter: @HBivittatus and insta: @teleostei_art). Jumping off of that observation, I created a modified phylogenetic character matrix based on the first matrix in Cooper et al., (2022) in Mesquite.

A little look into the character matrix within Mesquite, 130 characters and 30 taxa in this one

I'll go more in detail in its dedicated taxon article about what exactly was modified in some sort of phylogeny section probably.

After sorting out all the characters for the Operculaurisichthys spp. (yes there are multiple species, more about that in a future crelog probably) I imported the .nex file into TNT which I used to create the majority rule consensus tree you see below.

Everything before Euthynotus spp. is part of the outgroup, so I wouldnt pay them much attention, as you can see, this majority rule consensus tree is the result of 24 most parsimonious trees

The inclusion of Operculaurisichthys didn't break Pachycormidae to my surprise, which is incredibly impressive for a fish that was made with no clade in mind. As you can see its firmly nested within Hypsocorminae in a polytomy with Simocormus and the more derived hypsocormines, which I find incredibly interesting for the afformentioned reason.

Anyways that's all I'm gonna talk about regarding Operculaurisichthys, so if you just came for that now's your chance to leave. Onto GPlates stuff and plate tectonics!!!

~~~~~🌎🌍🌏~~~~~

A sneak peak at the GPlates project file, just the sea side tho can't give everything away too early can I now ;P

What is GPlates? I think their website puts it best "GPlates is a plate tectonics program (where you can) manipulate reconstructions of geological and paleogeographic features through geological time." What I'm doing is simulating the plate tectonics through geological time to give my world a realistic look and assure I can keep that same realistic look throughout the course of the project.

I'm using the GPlates portion of Artifexian's worldbuilding series (link to the playlist here) mixed with referencing Worldbuilding Pasta's blog (link to their blog here) which the GPlates portion of Artifexian's worldbuilding series derives from. Artefixian simplifies a lot of stuff to suit his workflow - which is valid - while Worldbuilding Pasta's original method is closer to the level I like, so I cross reference a lot of stuff.

One of the many island arcs on the planet

However one thing I do which is different to both is create the continental shelf portion of my island arcs every 50 million year timestep. This sounds stupid and tedious, but makes sense when you take into account the fact that I'll be making multiple of these maps every 50 Million year timestep or so (still deciding on that). So having that reference and being able to simulate the building of terrain over time is incredibly useful.

Ontop of this I'm also adding an accurate amount of terrain using the equation: (island arc length * age of island arc in MY) / 2 (which is taken from this Artifexian video). This is an incredibly tedious process but imo worth it in the end.

Earlier version of the above island arc showing that it's all one connected element, please understand how tedious this is lmao

So yeah! That's pretty much all I'm willing to reveal right now, hope this gives yall an idea what you're in for and also a look at my creative process (aka my flavour of autism). There will definitely be more crelogs in the future, and more frequently as I continue to make more progress in developing the major parts of the world.

For the first time, thanks for reading!

A Recorded Life (41/50) - Miraculous Ladybug

Words: 1494 Summary: With only a few days left until the gala and Jagged Stone's new album release, Marinette has to make another video and podcast for the release date. She is stressed, but trying her hardest to keep it together. Author's Note: ahhh we are almost to the gala. only a few more!! i finally got some more tikki in this because the kawmi aspect has been lacking (oops). I love how crazy gossip pages are and I can only imagine the shippers are tearing them apart. also: is it adrienette or adrinette? I use adrientte but I keep seeing adrinette and now my whole life is a lie

Prev / Next / Masterlist

Filming The Podcast

---

5 days until the gala

ADRIEN AGRESTE OFF THE MARKET: WHO IS HIS GIRLFRIEND?

TEENAGE HEARTTHROB ADRIEN AGRESTE OFFICIALLY DATING YOUTUBE SENSATION MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG

AGRESTE MODEL ADRIEN AGRESTE DATES A FAN?

ADRIEN AGRESTE AND MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG ANNOUNCE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUTUBE VIDEO

POLL: DO YOU THINK ADRIEN AGRESTE AND MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG WILL LAST?

Marinette saw all the countless articles come out right after the video went public. She expected it, these gossip sites just wanted to get clicks and would make headlines as wild as they could. She was a little upset with some of them, but she knew her's and Adrien's fans were already tearing them apart for bad headlines.

She had a critical day ahead of her. She and Alya were scheduled to go to meet Jagged Stone at his hotel to record their podcast and video for the album in just a few days. Nino was a little upset he wasn't able to go, but at least it meant he got some bro-time with Adrien for the first time in a while. Not that he doesn't like hanging out with the girls, just sometimes it's nice to be alone.

Marinette was finishing getting ready before Alya was going to meet her. "You look very nice, Marinette," Tikki commented, "But you look worried. What's wrong?"

Marinette shrugged in response. "I don't know, just nervous. Not for Jagged, that will be the easy part, but just the fact that everything is happening so fast. I mean, the gala is later this week, and I just finished my dress. I'm so scared for the night and trying to get into Mr. Agreste's office during the whole thing. It's all circling around my head and just driving me crazy. Plus, Jagged's album comes out that day, so there's going to be a lot going on, that's all," She sighed.

"Well, I know it's all going to turn out fine. You guys will record the video today, have some fun, and then you can relax until the gala," Tikki tried to comfort.

"Yeah, but what if we actually find something that proves Gabriel is...is Hawkmoth? You saw how Adrien reacted when we watched the video. I don't know how we're going to handle it, or take care of him, or what we're going to do. I know if we find something out, I will not be able to just stand there and talk to people for the rest of the night," Marinette explained. "I'd have to do something as soon as I find out."

Tikki shook her head and looked directly at Marinette. "And you know Adrien is the same way. When we look into it, the night could completely change. I mean, I hope Gabriel isn't Hawkmoth, but you should talk to Adrien about what you guys should do in the event that he is."

Marinette nodded. "You're right. I'll talk with him tonight," She said and grabbed her purse so Tikki could sit inside. "Thanks for the talk. Alya will be here any minute, so let's meet her downstairs."

Happily, Tikki sat in Marinette's purse so they could wait for Alya. Of course, as soon as she got there, Tikki did pop out and say hello, and then the three of them were off to the Bourgeois hotel to meet Jagged. They happened to run into Chloé as she was on her way out, and she quickly said her hellos and goodbyes, saying she would catch up with them soon (especially since the gala is coming up!).

"Jagged! Marinette and Alya are here!" Penny called from the front of his suite, and Fang came running up to Marinette.

"Hi, Fang! I've missed you!" She bent down and pet Fang on her head, making Fang even more excited than she already was. Before Alya could even question their relationship, Jagged came around the corner with a big smile.

"Hello, girls!" Jagged greeted. "Come, let's take a seat. I'm so excited to do this!" He said. "I can't wait to talk about our creative process and hear what the fans think of it."

Marinette nodded, but Alya spoke. "This is going to be awesome! Plus, working with you on a video is going to be something added to my resumé."

Jagged laughed. "Ha! It will be! If the video looks amazing, and I'm sure it will, I'll even write you a recommendation letter!"

Alya perked up when she heard that, and her eyes went wide. "Really? That would be amazing."

"Course!" Jagged said and turned back to Marinette. "Oh, by the way, congrats on finally dating Adrien," Jagged said. "Penny and I had a bet as to when it would happen. Penny won."

The girls burst out laughing, and Penny held up the money she won from Jagged to prove the win. As Alya worked on setting up the camera, microphone, and lights, they were having casual conversations about what they were going to say during the video. But, mostly, they were going to wing it.

"Hi, guys! I'm Marinette!" Marinette began the video.

"And I'm Jagged Stone!" He added. "Boy, have we got something fun for you today."

"It's the release day of Jagged's new album, Greener Grass! And we decided to do a listening through and talk about each track. Of course, Jagged will talk about the music, and I will talk about the art for each one," Marinette explained.

Jagged nodded quickly and took over the next part of speaking. "That's right. And I can't wait for you guys to see all her art in person. It's going to be so cool, and all the merch that we have with her art is stunning. Marinette really can do anything."

Marinette shook her head at his compliment. "Thanks, Jagged. Should we start?"

They started playing the finalized music from Jagged's album, which he has already ready. "Ah, the title song! Here we have Greener Grass. Overall, with this album, I had some coming of age vibes on a few songs, and generally just looking on the bright side. We've had some ups and downs in the world, especially in Paris, and we all could use a little happiness."

"I really love this one. Paris really needs a look on the bright side, I should know, and this song reminds me to have hope and keep going. With the art for this one, I had Jagged standing in a field, with an angel and devil on his shoulders, batteling. The angel appears to be winning, because in the song, he talks about hard times and bouncing back, and how the grass is always greener," Marinette rambled. She put a lot of thought into these covers, and really resonated with the music Jagged Stone created, and knew the fans would appreciate the art just as much as she does.

Jagged put his arm around Marinette. "She's so talented. Guys, I don't think you know this, but I sent Marinette the demos without any description or guidelines. She listened to the songs and just drew- and was able to come up with these full-on masterpieces! We had a few meetings, but most of them were just for me to approve, she just knows, you know?" Jagged explained.

They went through a few songs more to explain, then ended up on the Marinette favorite. "Ah, the first single released: Lift Up!" Jagged celebrated. "Most people know this song is about Marinette from our release day video. But what they don't know is that I wrote it a long time ago, before the viral video. Marinette didn't even mention Ladybug around me, but I had it all figured out on my own. I guess I just know her too well," Jagged laughed. "But I wrote this because Marinette inspires me. She deals with so many things; I mean, there's school, her family's bakery, her videos, and now we all know she protects Paris on top of that!" Jagged threw his hands up in astonishment.

"Of course, you have Adrien to help you with some of that, but it still amazes me all the work you do. And if you get knocked down, you get right back up with a smile on your face," He continued praising.

Marinette could almost cry. She was flattered that Jagged thought this highly of her and everything she does, and she doesn't get nearly enough credit when due. With all the stress that has been sitting on her shoulders, this was a huge relief to hear, and was happy that someone appreciated it. With tears in her eyes, she hugged Jagged. "Thank you," She said. Wiping her tears away, she moved on to talk about the art for this one, featuring a melting ice cream cone and a balloon mid-pop, with Jagged standing behind with brand new ones.

All this praise from Jagged Stone, her idol and friend, was too much for her heart. How was she going to get through editing this without crying?

IDOLiSH7 4th Anniversary Special Story: Best Wishes...

Chapter 2: Reality And Heartthrobs

Chapter 1 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5

Tsumugi Takanashi: Everyone, good work! It seems they're finally opening the VR experience booth, "A Date with IDOLiSH7"!

Riku Nanase: Aah! It's finally going to open!

Banri Ogami: They're planning to debut it in the newly renovated Sky Blue Mall's VR facility, VR LAND!

Banri Ogami: As a part of its promotion, they're going to film you visiting the shopping center and trying the VR experience before the re-opening.

Tamaki Yotsuba: Awesome! I wanna try it!

Yamato Nikaido: Huh..? But wouldn't we be going on a date with ourselves?

Banri Ogami: I suppose...

Mitsuki Izumi: That could be interesting! I wanna hear what the others recorded, anyway!

Tsumugi Takanashi: We have the demo footage for A Date with IDOLiSH7 here! Would you like to watch it?

Nagi Rokuya: YES! I want to try dating myself! Surely, I will be the perfect escort.

Iori Izumi: You're awfully confident, Rokuya-san. I feel a bit embarrassed by the idea, myself...

Sogo Osaka: The characters they established for us were a bit unconventional.

Riku Nanase: I wonder how they turned out! Whose should we watch? Who does everyone want to go on a date with?

Tamaki Yotsuba: Raise your hand if you wanna date me!

Iori, Yamato, Mitsuki, Sogo, Nagi, & Riku: ...Huh..?

Tamaki Yotsuba: Raise your hands, guys!

Yamato Nikaido: S-sorry about that. I couldn't help feeling weird about the idea of dating you...

Mitsuki Izumi: Ask again, and we'll act more excited.

Tamaki Yotsuba: Geez... Raise your hand if you wanna date me!

Iori, Yamato, Mitsuki, Sogo, Nagi, & Riku: Me! Me! Me! Me!

Tamaki Yotsuba: Oh, all of you. Alright, let's watch mine.

Tsumugi Takanashi: Tamaki-san, it is! Here we go!

- - - -

Tamaki's Recording: Oh. You're an interesting girl, not falling for me as soon as I make a pass at you.

Tamaki's Recording: I've never met someone like you. Wanna come over to my place?

- - - -

Iori, Yamato, Mitsuki, Sogo, Nagi, & Riku: Ooh la la!

Tamnaki Yotsuba: Don't make fun of me!

Yamato Nikaido: They really went all out on the desirability poll potential with this one.

Sogo Osaka: But Tamaki-kun doesn't talk like this... Or maybe he does, only to girls..? Do you, Tamaki-kun?

Tamaki Yotsuba: I dunno... I guess I wanna call fun people over to my place?

Banri Ogami: I see. Instead of something normal, they're going for phrases that girls will like more.

Banri Ogami: What's Sogo-kun's like?

- - - -

Sogo's Recording: These flowers are so beautiful... Looking at them is so soothing. I'm so happy that I can spend this moment with you.

Sogo's Recording: Look, this one suits you.

- - - -

Iori, Yamato, Mitsuki, Tamaki, Nagi, & Riku: Ooh la la!

Sogo Osaka: Haha... Thank you.

Riku Nanase: Sogo-san, you sound so gentle! But I feel like you'd be a little more analytical.

Iori Izumi: You can be surprisingly dry, after all.

Sogo Osaka: N-no I'm not. I can enjoy soothing things, too.

Tamaki Yotsuba: When I told you that finding a four-leaf clover could bring you happiness, you said "That's probably because it's such a rare mutation".

Sogo Osaka: I'm not wrong, am I? I understand why someone would feel happy after finding a rare specimen.

Nagi Rokuya: Indeed. Pink diamonds are also more valuable than ordinary diamonds.

Tamaki Yotsuba: What about Nagicchi's? What's it like?

Nagi Rokuya: It is the ultimate rendezvouz! Tsumugi, if you please!

Tsumugi Takanashi: Yes!

- - - -

Nagi's Recording: My sweet angel... Between this million dollar skyline and myself, which is more beautiful?

Nagi's Recording: Fufu... I knew you would say that.

Nagi's Recording: My sweet angel, Cocona...

- - - -

Mitsuki Izumi: He's calling them Cocona!

Riku Nanase: Are you on a date with Cocona-chan? Or is it with the sweet angel and Cocona?

Yamato Nikaido: Whether they're one and the same or not makes a big difference.

Nagi Rokuya: I will leave it up to your imaginations. And what about Mitsuki? I want to see a date with him!

Mitsuki Izumi: Mine's pretty normal, so it's kinda embarrassing...

Tsumugi Takanashi: I'll play Mitsuki-san's now!

- - - -

Mitsuki's Recording: I had fun today. Um, I...

Mitsuki's Recording: There's something... I've been wanting to tell you for a while now.

- - - -

Riku Nanase: Ah...

Iori Izumi: What do you mean, "ah"...

Riku Nanase: It felt like Mitsuki was going to confess to me...

Iori Izumi: I-it's just a VR experience...

Tamaki Yotsuba: We know, but holy crap... Mikki's gonna confess to us for the first time ever...

Nagi Rokuya: OH... My heart is racing...

Yamato Nikaido: You guys make a great audience.

- - - -

Mitsuki's Recording: For a while now, I've... thought of you as someone special to me, or rather...

Mitsuki's Recording: ........

- - - -

Iori, Yamato, Tamaki, Sogo, Nagi, & Riku: ........

- - - -

Mitsuki's Recording: ...Forget it! It's nothing, after all!

- - - -

Yamato Nikaido: Huh!? Spit it out already!!!

Nagi Rokuya: My heart was prepared..!?

Mitsuki Izumi: Don't get mad at my footage!

Sogo Osaka: I would've liked an honest confession from Mitsuki-san...

Iori Izumi: That was more than enough for me. Haah... It was strangely unnerving.

Riku Nanase: Yeah, it really made my heart race! What was Iori's like?

Tsumugi Takanashi: Iori-san! I'll play it now!

Sogo Osaka: Maybe it'll be youthful and innocent?

Nagi Rokuya: Or perhaps, more cool? OH! It is starting!

- - - -

Iori's Recording: Hmm... It seems you've finally become a woman worthy of standing beside me.

Iori's Recording: I'll date you, if I must. It'll allow me to kill time, at the very least.

Iori's Recording: But why don't you beg me for it, first? Or would you rather be punished?

- - - -

Mitsuki Izumi: It turned out to be super sadistic..!!!

Yamato Nikaido: They're going a little too hard with our youngest members.

Riku Nanase: This is making me want to pinch Iori's cheek..!

Iori Izumi: Please don't.

Sogo Osaka: I would've preferred something more innocent... But you did a really good job playing a sadist, too. Well done.

Iori Izumi: Seeing as how it's a VR experience, I thought it'd be more interesting if my performance had a certain amount of entertainment value...

Yamato Nikaido: Maybe this'll unexpectely turn out popular.

Iori Izumi: And what about you, Nikaido-san? I'm sure you must've been bringing out your adult charms.

Yamato Nikaido: Mine was...

Mitsuki Izumi: Don't be shy! Manager, play Yamato-san's next!

Tsumugi Takanashi: Very well!

Riku Nanase: I wonder what it'll be like!

Nagi Rokuya: I am sure that it will be overflowing with sweet nothings!

- - - -

Yamato's Recording: Kukuku... You can't see anything in this darkness, but I can see you just fine...

- - - -

Iori, Mitsuki, Tamaki, Sogo, Nagi, & Riku: .......!?

- - - -

Yamato's Recording: I'm going to torment you all I want. Don't bother calling for help. Nobody's going to come...

Yamato's Recording: I look forward to hearing you scream...

- - - -

Iori, Mitsuki, Tamaki, Sogo, Nagi, & Riku: ........

Riku Nanase: T-this is a date with Yamato-san!?

Tamaki Yotsuba: What the hell, Yama-san!!! That was scary!!!

Yamato Nikaido: Uh, I think they probably drew a lot of inspiration from my drama roles.

Mitsuki Izumi: Right... Because you've had so many revenge maniac and serial killer roles...

Sogo Osaka: I think a calm and cool date would've suited Yamato-san better...

Iori Izumi: I've been wondering for a while now, but why are you so strongly fixated on IDOLiSH7's dates, Osaka-san?

Sogo Osaka: Maybe it's because I know you all personally. I wanted You and Tamaki-kun to act more innocent, and I wanted to hear Mitsuki-san's confession...

Sogo Osaka: I wanted to have a relaxing time with Yamato-san. In this respect, Nagi-kun's footage was really satisfying. I think I'd enjoy going on a date with him and Cocona-chan.

Nagi Rokuya: Thanks!

Mitsuki Izumi: That's a pretty in-depth review.

Iori Izumi: It's very educational.

Sogo Osaka: What was Riku-kun's like? I'd like to see it.

Riku Nanase: I-I just hope that it's satisfying enough to you, Sogo-san... Manager, play mine!

Tsumugi Takanashi: Alright! I'll be showing you Riku-san's footage now! It'l be the last one!

- - - -

Riku's Recording: Good evening, everyone!

Audience Recording: Kyaaaaa!

- - - -

Mitsuki Izumi: Ah, it's during a live.

Tamaki Yotsuba: Pretty fitting.

- - - -

Riku's Recording: I have an important announcement to make tonight!

- - - -

Iori Izumi: Hold on a moment... What are you going to say during a live, Nanase-san..?

Yamato Nikaido: This is still giving me heart palpitations, just out of anxiety...

- - - -

Riku's Recording: I've been keeping this a secret!

Riku's Recording: But there's someone I'm in love with!

Audience Recording: Kyaaaaaa!

- - - -

Iori Izumi: ...Whoa...

Nagi Rokuya: Wow! How dramatic!

Yamato Nikaido: I feel you, Ichi... My palms are sweating from just imagining the aftermath of this...

Tamaki Yotsuba: Rikkun's so cool!

Sogo Osaka: Hmm... I suppose... This suits Riku-kun well enough..?

Mitsuki Izumi: It makes sense as a VR experience, but if you actually did this at a live that people had been looking forward to...

- - - -

Riku's Recording: The person I love is...

Riku's Recording: You, who's been with me this whole night!

Audience Recording: Kyaaaaaa!

- - - -

Iori Izumi: ...Aaaahhhh...

- - - -

Riku's Recording: Let's date! I hope you'll support both my idol side and my normal side!

Riku's Recording: Because I'll always, always love you!

Audience Recording: Kyaaaaaa!

- - - -

Iori Izumi: ....... Haaah... ...I was so scared, I forgot to breathe midway...

Riku Nanase: But Yamato-san's was scarier than mine!

Iori Izumi: Nanase-san... Can you please promise that you'll never do this? Or at least that you'll ask us beforehand?

Riku Nanase: I wouldn't do something so embarrassing!

Riku Nanase: But... Maybe my feelings would get to that point if I fell in love with someone.

Riku Nanase: ...Hehe, just kidding!

Iori Izumi: Manager, please bring the stomach medicine...

Riku Nanase: Geez, were you even listening!? What are you getting all weak in the knees for!?

Iori Izumi: I feel tired all of a sudden...

Tamaki Yotsuba: Hey. Now that we've seen all of 'em, who do you wanna go on a date with, manager?

Tsumugi Takanashi: They were all so wonderful that I can't choose! What about you, Banri-san?

Banri Ogami: Me!? Well... Based on scariness, maybe Yamato-kun's. I'd like to try surviving his VR experience!

Yamato Nikaido: Um... It's not a survival game, so you don't have to worry about not making it out alive.

Tamaki Yotsuba: Ban-chan, pick mine.

Banri Ogami: Huh. But you'll just take me to your home.

Tamaki Yotsuba: So what? You've been to my room before, right? I'll let you hug my King Pudding.

Banri Ogami: In that case, maybe I will go?

Tamaki Yotsuba: Awesome!

Mitsuki Izumi: This guy really is a desirability poll ranker. He's so good at handling people.

Tsumugi Takanashi: I hope everyone will enjoy the A Date with IDOLiSH7 VR experience!

Riku Nanase: Right! I can't wait to see the facility, either!

Banri Ogami: Speaking of which. Sky Blue Mall's re-opening is going to focus heavily on surprises.

Banri Ogami: Many of the stores are going to be doing secret events. Because of that, you shouldn't give out any information.

Iori Izumi: Secret... Their plan is most likely for visitors to spread information through social media.

Banri Ogami: Seems that way. Even the guests of their main event are still a secret.

Sogo Osaka: I wonder who they'll be. Maybe a foreign artists?

Banri Ogami: The guests are connected to the four year anniversary, and had a very chaotic school life.

Mitsuki Izumi: Chaotic school life... I wonder what kind of people they are...

Tsumugi Takanashi: It'll be very busy before the opening, so there will be many construction and interior design workers present...

Tsumugi Takanashi: So you should disguise yourselves outside of the shoot, in order to keep it a secret that you're there.

Nagi Rokuya: Alright! I shall construct the perfect cosplay to conceal my identity!

Sogo Osaka: Wouldn't a cosplay stand out more?

Riku Nanase: I can't wait for VR LAND and Sky Blue Mall to open!

Riku Nanase: We'll have to do our best with the pre-opening shoot, so we can make lots of people happy!

Kaoru Anesagi: Good work, boys! Your consecutive lives were a success!

Kaoru Anesagi: Tomorrow is your long-awaited day off! Make sure to get plenty of rest.

Tenn Kujo: Thank you very much.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: We should take this chance to go out for dinner with all of us. Or should we stay home and cook?

Gaku Yaotome: Ah, sorry, I'm busy that day.

Tenn Kujo: Oh, you are?

Gaku Yaotome: There's this Matsuda-san who used to work at Grandpa's restaurant. He's basically Grandpa's apprentice, and he left the place on good terms.

Gaku Yaotome: He's about to open his second restaurant at Sky Blue Mall.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: That's great. Sky Blue Mall is that big shopping center that's going to re-open soon, right?

Gaku Yaotome: Yep. But because the construction got delayed, he doesn't have enough helping hands.

Gaku Yaotome: Massan looked after me when I was a kid, so I thought I'd help prep his place for the opening.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: In that case, I'll help, too.

Gaku Yaotome: You sure?

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Of course. The more the merrier, right?

Tenn Kujo: I don't mind helping, either.

Gaku Yaotome: Thanks! Massan's gonna be really happy!

Kaoru Anesagi: Will the three of you be alright? Won't you be recognized if you all go?

Gaku Yaotome: So what if we do? The place isn't open for business yet, so there's only gonna be construction guys around.

Kaoru Anesagi: It's in the same building as a train station, so you'll run into other people, too. Make sure to wear disguises.

Tenn Kujo: Right. Especially Ryu, since he's so big....

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I-I'll do my best not to be seen.

Kaoru Anesagi: Don't call each other by name. You'll have to come up with pseudonyms.

Gaku Yaotome: That's gonna be tough for me. Massan's probably gonna call me by his usual nickname...

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: What does he call you?

Gaku Yaotome: Gaku-chan.

Tenn Kujo: Gaku-chan.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Gaku-chan.

Tenn Kujo: ...How about Gacchan?

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: That's good! Nobody's going to think that's Gaku Yaotome!

Gaku Yaotome: That's the one. What about Tenn?

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Tamaki-kun called him Tenten.

Gaku Yaotome: Tenten's too long. Let me think...

Gaku Yaotome: How about Tecchan?

Tenn Kujo: I've never been called that in my life.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: It's cute! Tecchan!

Tenn Kujo: What?

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: That's really good!

Tenn Kujo: Thanks.

Gaku Yaotome: The real problem's with Ryu. People will probably recognize him if we call him Ryu-chan. Momo-san tends to call him that, too.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: And Ricchan sounds girly. Ri... Ri... Rikkun?

Tenn Kujo: That sounds too much like Riku.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Ah, right.

Gaku Yaotome: Ri... Let's ditch "Ri". Ryu... Dragon...

Tenn Kujo: Dora-chan.

Kaoru Anesagi: Dora-chan..? Would anyone call a grown man that?

Tenn Kujo: Right...

Gaku Yaotome: We might as well call him "Dragon", since it's so manly.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: It's manly, but I feel a little embarrassed by the idea of answering to that name...

Gaku Yaotome: I'd have no problem being called Dragon.

Tenn Kujo: I've got it.

Gaku Yaotome: Oh, let's hear it.

Tenn Kujo: Tsuna-chan.

Gaku Yaotome: That's good.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Tsuna-chan, huh! It's a little embarrassing, but I like how friendly it sounds!

Gaku Yaotome: Tsuna-chan.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Yeees!

Tenn Kujo: Not bad.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Gacchan! Tecchan!

Gaku Yaotome: Yeah.

Tenn Kujo: Yeah.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: They sound so friendly!

Kaoru Anesagi: I feel so confused now... If you're all fine with it, then I suppose I don't mind...

Tenn Kujo: Alright, Gacchan. Let Massan know we're coming.

Gaku Yaotome: Yeah. I'll be counting on you guys tomorrow, Tecchan and, uh...

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Tsuna-chan!

Gaku Yaotome: Right, Tsuna-chan! We gotta get used to these names by tomorrow. Let's keep using them for the rest of tonight.

Tenn Kujo: Right. The more we practice, the better we'll do on the day of.

Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Yeah! Let's do it like we're already working!

Kaoru Anesagi: You boys are so serious about this.

Kaoru Anesagi: I'm worried that there might be trouble, but maybe it'll all work out...

To be continued...
